My wife and I have enjoyed hiking, rock scrambling and just being outside for as long as I can remember. After being married for twelve years and enjoying the freedon of traveling together as adults, we had a baby. Now we work very hard to find things to do outdoors that satisfy both our need for adventure on the road less traveled and our desire to share the adventure with our daughter.
We recently moved to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and are literally overwhelmed by the potential to grow our adventures with a child along for the ride.
We've vacationed here a number of times before and found it difficult to navigate the barrage of advertising and almost propogandized "family fun" in the area. Every attraction claims to be family friendly but there are some obvious exceptions (no one is going to try to climb the stairs at Seven Falls with a 2-year-old intow) and there are some not-so-obvious ones as well.
Now that we live here, we're getting out and seeing the sights almost every weekend. What I want to offer here is concise and detailed reviews to take the guesswork out of "Family Fun" in the foothills and Front Range area of Colorado. What a great place to be!
Here's the kind of things that you'll find here as the blog develops: family friendly day hiking locales, places to eat, historic and landmark attractions that don't bore the kids, picture spots and must-see sights. We'll talk about what you can expect to spend and rate all of our hits and misses for family friendliness.
We have a pretty diverse set of interests, but we don't ski, golf or shop much, so I doubt you'll find much help with those pursuits herein. We live in the Denver area and generally don't venture much farther north than Rocky Mountain National Park or farther south than Colorado Springs.
Please be patient as we develop the site, eventually you'll be able to search the blog for archived entries related to specific locations or activities. In the meantime, if you don't find what you're looking for, you can post a message if you have a question about a specific attraction and we'll try to check it out for you.
Have fun!
